Designer of Books

As a freelance designer it has given me the opportunity to closely collaborate with publishers, editorial teams, printers and authors to deliver high-quality book designs. I have successfully designed and laid out hundreds of books specializing in non-fiction coffee table and corporate history books, cookbooks, guidebooks, how-to gardening and home improvement books, travel books, gift books and children’s books. One of my strengths is the ability to work independently while collaborating with various teams and creatives.

Extensive experience in full-color printing and preflight file preparation, having worked on press in the US and Asia. This hands-on experience ensures I can confidently manage color printing processes, troubleshoot production issues, and maintain a high level of detail throughout each project. Additionally, my strong technical expertise in Adobe Creative Suite mainly with InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, and Acrobat Pro, enables me to deliver polished, color corrected, production-ready designs. I’m also adept at managing multiple projects at once while ensuring they stay on schedule and within budget.
